We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday at Poor Calvin’s and we couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant for this milestone! The food was amazing, and the staff was smiling, energetic, and positive, which added to the ambience of Poor Calvin’s. And, our server, Lena, provided the best service EVER! My fiancé had the grouper and I had the grass-fed lamb chops with a lobster tail. You cannot go wrong with either of these dishes!

This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
